Last update date: 2020-08-10 20:57On August 10, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference and announced China’s countermeasures and sanctions against 11 Americans including Rubio on the earlier US sanctions on Hong Kong Special Administrative Region officials and Hong Kong-related Mainland officials. .
The spokesperson of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council said in a statement that he firmly supports the aforementioned countermeasures announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office also pointed out that the 11 people sanctioned by China have been stigmatizing Hong Kong-related issues and intervening in Hong Kong affairs unscrupulously. Some people are behind the Hong Kong "Regulation Amendment Disturbance" or the chief culprit in pushing for relevant sanctions.
The spokesperson of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in the conversation that the US congressmen and some heads of US non-governmental organizations included in the sanctions list have performed badly on Hong Kong-related issues, or openly provided support to "Hong Kong independence" organizations and radical violent elements. Support and cheer, or try to smear and attack "One Country, Two Systems" and Hong Kong's National Security Law through various means.
The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office pointed out that since the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the people's minds have been stable, order is normal, social positive energy has been continuously improved, and the situation has improved significantly. The Chinese government will continue to unswervingly implement the "One Country, Two Systems" policy, resolutely oppose any external forces' interference in Hong Kong affairs, strictly enforce Hong Kong's national security law, and spare no effort to maintain Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
In addition, a spokesperson for the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also made a statement, firmly supporting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' announcement of reciprocal sanctions against the United States, emphasizing that on major issues concerning China’s sovereignty, security, development and interests, it must “contend every inch of the land and not yield”, and denounced the US finances. The so-called sanctions statement issued by the Ministry is a realistic version of "full of ridiculous claims," falsely claiming that "the United States and the people of Hong Kong stand together". It is a big lie and joke, emphasizing that the way out for Hong Kong is to correctly implement "one country, two systems." Stay with the powerful motherland.
